[Intro]
Footsteps echo
In a hallway that bends too long
Red EXIT sign flickers
Like it knows where I belong
[Verse 1]
Breath on the glass
Something moves where the mirrors crack
Cold hands on my back
But there’s never anyone to track
Eyes in the drain
Hear my name in the air vents hum
Every corner I turn
Feels like I’m the only one
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel claws in my chest
Pulling slow
Every light switch lies
Staying low
If I look behind
Do you grow?
Or were you here all along?
[Chorus]
I’ve been walking in the shadows
Where the walls breathe in and out my name
If I run they only follow
Every scream just feeds the flame
Walking in the shadows
Where the dead things learn my face
If I’m lost here
Let me hollow
Let the dark take all my place
[Verse 2]
Teeth in the floor
Hear them grind when I dare to sleep
Nails in the door
Drag a rhythm that cuts too deep
Blood on the clock
But the hands keep circling slow
Every second I stay
Something else begins to grow
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel claws in my chest
Pulling slow
Every light switch lies
Staying low
If I look behind
Do you grow?
Or were you here all along?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
Count to six with the lights all dead
Feel the breath at the side of the bed
You’re not dreaming
You’re inside my head
You’re inside my—
[screamed ad-lib] head!
[crescendo]
Heartbeat syncs with the floor
It shakes
Skin peels back as the room awake
If I vanish
Let the ceiling break
Let it rain my name
[Chorus]
